REALLY GOOD
1st PORK BELLY CHILI VERDE
Red Maple Cafe, Burbank
Apparently, this used to be on their menu but they removed it during the pandemic when they scaled back. They are making it this weekend as a special until they run out. This was the best thing I had here, so it's too bad you can't get it. Maybe they'll add it to their menu when they move in 2 weeks to their new location. Tender pork belly with some crispy bits under a lovely chili verde with some great citrus notes and the fried eggs on top.
2nd EGGS, BEANS AND CARNE ASADA
Daisy's Restaurant, Los Angeles
My husband requested this (since it's not on the menu) and they made it for him. He was very happy 😊
3rd VILLA-RITO
Brockton Villa Restaurant, San Diego
Pork Carnitas | Hash Brown | Scrambled Eggs | Roasted Poblano & Onion | Ranchero Sauce | Cheddar | Feta | Pico De Gallo | Tortilla Chips. Delicious.
5th MACHACA
The Egg House, Simi Valley
Came with salsa and tortillas
6th CHORIZO AND EGGS
Eggs N Things, Santa Clarita
Three Eggs scrambled with Cheese ‘n’ Flour Tortillas. Good amount of chorizo!
7th FIESTA RANCHERA
Olympic Coffee Shop, Los Angeles
Top Sirloin steak with onions and peppers served with two eggs, rice, beans and choice of tortillas. The steak was cooked perfectly, but the cut of me was not flavorful. Sorry, I'm very spoiled when it comes to steaks 🤣
JUST OK
8th BEEF MACHACA
Daisy's Restaurant, Los Angeles
The beans and rice and tostada were really good. I didn't love the machaca though.
9th MACHACA
Olympic Coffee Shop, Los Angeles
Traditionally machaca uses chunks of beef that are shredded and mixed with the eggs. This head slices of roast beef that were cut into strips and mixed with the scrambled eggs. It wasn't what I was expecting so I was a little disappointed.
10th MACHACA SCRAMBLE
Eggs N Things, Santa Clarita
Scrambled Eggs, Shredded Beef, Onion, Tomato, Green Chile, Cilantro, Avocado, Jalapenos, Shredded Jack & Cheddar Cheese, topped with Sour Cream & Salsa ‘n’ Flour Tortillas. Ok. Not enough beef.
12th CHORIZO AND EGGS
Halfway House cafe, Santa Clarita
It was fine. The rice was Minute Rice, but at least it didn't have vegetables in it. This place doesn't seem to have a lot of scratch made food. Almost ordered the corned beef hash until we were told that it was from a can. 😝
13th MACHACA
Myke's Cafe, Los Angeles
Shredded beef, scrambled eggs, tomatos, onions, red and green bell peppers. Comes with choice of potatoes and corn tortillas. Not seasoned. Just okay. Corn tortillas ( they make) were good.
NOT FOR ME
14th CHILAQUILES VERDE WITH CARNE ASADA
Toasted Bun, Los Angeles
So many things wrong... The carne asada was impossible to cut. It was a completely hammered steak. if you're going to serve me uncuttable steak, then you should at least cut it into little pieces to hide the poor quality. The verde sauce was very acidic and they drowned the chilaquiles in it.
15th CHILAQUILES
Indita Mia restaurant, Tacoma
Traditional Mexican breakfast dish. Corn tortillas cut into quarters lightly fried sautéed with red salsa and topped with queso fresco, sour cream, onions and cilantro. Egg added.
